Sunik Kim - Zero Chime (2019)

"Cacophonous free-jazz brilliance from NYC-based Sunik Kim, intended as a sonic weapon against the West and its historical and ongoing subjugation of the Korean peninsula, coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the country’s declaration of Independence. Sounds to us like Joseph Hammer dueling Merzbow at Mr. Bungle’s gaff." - Boomkat

"The good people at First Terrace Records are clearly on a saxophone hype at the moment. Following up their Ben Vince/Jacob Samuel collaborative LP, the label now present Zero Chime, a five-tracker from Korean-American sound artist/saxophonist Sunik Kim. Mind you, this frenetic, screeching amalgamation of free jazz, digital noise, grinding drones and computer music is a world away from Vince and Samuel’s work. Think Albert Ayler and Territorial Gobbing." - Bleep

"Wild free jazz spirit meets colossal computer music sculptures." - Norman Records
